The pair met at the Shanghai Fashion Awards, where Christian – a Liverpool John Moores University student – was strutting his stuff on the catwalk.

Since then, they have become largely inseparable, with generous Lindsay even splashing out on a £30k Rolex for him.

Which beats a night in with a bottle of wine and a DVD on the relationship front. Not that we're materialistic, or anything.

A source said: “Christian is a total cheeky chappy and has no fear.

“He caught Lindsay’s eye and just went in for the kill. He’s very good-looking and Lindsay loves the British accent.

“They spent loads of time together and got pretty close, quite quickly. Neither knows whether this will lead to anything or if it was merely a holiday romance but, at the moment, Christian is really happy and quite excited.

"He has only told a handful of people and is trying to be discreet, as is Lindsay.”
